Zc920

Zc920. These km stones have been recently replaced; it says 12 km to Imugan Town. From there to Santa Fe it is about another 8 km, so from here to Santa Fe, about 20 km, the Villa Verde Trail/Road or the new Pangasinan-Nueva Viscaya Road is concreted except about 100 meters. Don’t ask me why, I am sure there is some bureaucratic reason. The entrance to Malico Village is about 1 km from here, I consider this the western Salacsac Pass.

Zc919

Zc919. That ridgeline ahead, down from the road, houses the WWII tank, which makes me believe that the Villa Verde had several tracks reaching the Salacsac Passes at Malico Village.

Zc918

Zc918. This is a similar look back, as in the last picture, from the Caraballo Cliffs towards the ridge in the background. In between we see Hill 1053 which is used by the Villa Verde Trail/Road to connect these two mountain ridges. The Villa Verde Trail runs along the watershed line between the two rivers, left is the head water of the Cabalisian River which drains to the left and south and remember the new bridge was built to cross it at the start of the Villa Verde Trail, Pangasinan End. To the right is headwaters of the Ambayabang River, it starts in part at Malico, hooks to the north, then makes another large curve to the left and flows south into the Agno River.

Zc917

Zc917. This is another look back; I am passed several ravines, passed the blasting area and more important we can see where the Villa Verde trail reaches the Caraballo Mountain Cliffs after it crossed the expanse from that ridge in the background.

Zc916

Zc916. I am passed the blasting area and in back one can see the area of recent blasting.

Zc915

Zc915. This is at the same place at the last two pictures, but I am looking back. I have reached the cliffs of the Caraballo Mountains. Today there was some blasting here and I am standing on a pile that was blasted before though.

Zc914

Zc914. This is the last picture zoomed in. I crossed the middle section which runs along the watershed line between the two rivers and I am approaching the Caraballo Spur Mountains and it got difficult here; very narrow and they just finished blasting.
